Passat (B5) :: 2001 - How To Remove The Trunk Lid Liner

I just got the trunk latch problem that is frequently mentioned. Reading other messages here, it seems likely to be due to the spring of the post.
I eagerly went out to remove the trunk lid liner to see if I could fix the problem, but I couldn't for the life of me find the fuzzy screws that other people indicate have to be removed

Looking for a picture of what these seemingly invisible screws look like, or a diagram indicating where they are?

I have a 2001 Passat GLX (not the 2001.5 has the clips holding the liner in)

Passat (B6) :: Knocking / Popping Sound After Installation Of Coilover

I recently installed solowerks s1 coilovers and now I get this knocking sound coming from both front wheels. This only happens while turning at low speed and stops once I get past 30mph. Also there sounds like a rattle or clanking when going over bumps in a straight line. These 2 sounds are completely different. From what I've researched, I think the problem is broken top strut mounts. I wanted some second opinions on it before I buy the strut mounts and get in there.

This video shows you the noise when I turn the wheel side to side while parked.

Lexus SC430 :: Puddle Lights Installation Underneath The Car

I would like to install puddle lights underneath the car...to come on when the door is opened. I came across this thread that shows these lights. There is apparently a rubber grommet in the driver's floorboard which can be used to snake the wire into the cabin. Where exactly is this rubber grommet on a 06 model? I tried to find it today but was unsuccessful.

Lexus SC430 :: Trunk Won't Stay Open

The shocks (or whatever) that keep the trunk open have gone bad. Of course it happened a month after my warranty expired. They look easy to replace. Where to get them, cost, and how to install? I don't like going to my Lexus dealer. They make me feel like a criminal for not changing my oil every 5k, changing my own filters, etc, etc. etc.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: How To Remove Bed Liner

I have the Ford plastic drop in bed liner, and being up in the salt belt in CT, i want to take it out just to see how things look under there. Dont want to be surprised later on if i keep waiting. How do you take this thing out? Just pull the sides out from under the bed rails? You dont have to take the plastic trim that goes on top of the bed sides off do you?

Also, i want to get rid of this thing soon. The best thing to replace the plastic liner? i dont want to just leave it metal, but my dad has had a spray in "rhino liner" in his 04 ranger since the day he bought it and it has held up great. so i am thinking something along that line. How much it would be to have a spray in liner installed?

Lexus SC430 :: 2002 - Trunk Won't Open And Top Won't Drop

'02 sc430 here and the oddest thing started happening this week. The trunk will not open when using the button on the driver's side. Push the button and I don't hear any activity. But if I use my key remote the trunk pops open as usual. At the exact time this problem started happening, the top stopped opening as well. I pull the cover back as usual in the trunk, make sure it clicks into place, but when I push the button to open the roof, it just flashes red on and off over and over as if the latch is not in place in the trunk. How this all started.

Lexus SC430 :: Water At The Front Of The Trunk - No Leakage

I am getting water at the very front of the trunk, nearest the passenger compartment. Might be the drains in that vicinity that might be plugged causing an overflow there .Rest of the trunk is dry. The only wet area is immediately underneath the pull-out "shade" thing that has to be in place for the top to operate. Some indication that the water is coming from above that, since it is wet also.

Lexus SC430 :: Sometimes Trunk Does Not Latch Unless Close It Hard

As the title says....sometimes the trunk does not latch unless I close it hard. Is this normal for a SC? Why?

I took some pictures of the hook and the latch so what is wrong:

First, the hook:

A couple of views of the latch:

I cannot tell if something is wrong....other than a slight dent on the outside perimeter of the latch housing?

Camry 2012+ :: 2013 Removing Trunk Liner To Get To Brake Wiring

I'm trying to remove the trunk liner on my new 2013 Camry SE to get to the brake wiring so I can install a 4-pin trailer connector for my bike rack. My bike totally block the taillights when loaded, so I need some repeaters on the rack.

I removed a half-dozen push pins. There appears to be two plastic anchor hooks, one on each side of the trunk for a cargo net or something.

In addition, I removed some push-pins from the plastic trunk threshold, but it is still attached underneath. Are there pins molded into the panel on the back side or some sort of captivating device?
